I do not own Gakuen Heaven or any of its amazing characters.

Summary: Bell Liberty Academy is home to the most gifted boys in Japan. All of the students possess a very special ability, making them outcasts from the rest of society. This school is their haven, their heaven. This story will contain male/male parings, and some strong language here and there. This story may even remind you of X-Men. I’m not really sure if this will be a crossover or not, since there will be no characters from X-Men in it. It might even remind many of Heroes, too. Hmm, such a dilemma this is. Oh, well, enjoy the story, ya’ll.

Chapter Three

Keita took special notice as Kazuki led him to the residence hall where the students resided. Bell Liberty was gigantic. He was shown the art building, the science building, the math building, the gym, the auditorium, the library, the cafeteria, and the school temple. Well, he wasn’t really being shown them. They were just being pointed out to him along the way. None of this included the tennis course, the soccer field, the football field, the archery course, the basketball court, or the race track. There was even a large forest in the distance behind the school temple.

“And the only way onto this island is by the bride, which is never lowered,” Kazuki smiled, turning to walk backwards, so he could look at him. “We joke around, saying that it is to keep us from escaping this little heaven. It is only lowered on special occasions.”

Keita looked up at him.

“Boats and helicopters can come here, too.” He said, turning around to open the door to the residence hall for him. “We have the state of the art security system in place, so, the proper clearance is needed.”

Keita nodded, walking by him, and inside. His eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. The lobby was fabulous. It was massive. The place didn’t look so big on the outside, but, wow. Well, duh, fifty people did live here, stupid.

The floor was done in a brilliant black marble with jade green highlights here and there. Well, it looked more like a garden than a lobby. He had never seen so many plants before in all his life. Was that a fountain in the center? Yes, yes it was. It was bubbling happily.

“How am I to pay for this?” He asked, walking over to touch a blooming rose next to a large marble pillar.

“That’s not something you will ever have to worry about,” Kazuki said, walking over to a flight of steps that was hidden by a large vine like plant. “This is your home now, that is, if you would like for it to be.”

The building had five floors, not counting the extravagant lobby. It was all really too much for the eyes to take in at once. The whole place looked like it had been crafted out of a fantasy novel, literally.

“Isn’t this all a bit much?” Keita asked, poking the vine, jumping when it moved to poke back at him with a leaf. Okay, that shit was not normal. He looked at Kazuki and the smile reassured him that he was safe. What was it about his damn smile?

He had better not be in my head. I’ll ram a lightning bolt up his sexy ass.

“The lobby is the reason why we don’t have an elevator,” Kazuki smiled, leading him up the marble steps.

Keita bit his bottom lip, fighting not to laugh as he followed along behind him. That was just funny. He kept his eyes on the steps so he would not look up and see that perfect ass in his face. Great! He was blushing again.

“My room is 42,” Kazuki said, leading him to the fourth floor that was lined with doors. “And your room is 43.”

Apparently there were ten rooms on each floor. Some of them were probably empty, too. He guessed some of the students liked to room together. Or, perhaps, some of the empty rooms were used for other things.

“So,” Keita said, as Kazuki pulled the shiny silver key from his pocket, unlocking the door so they could step inside. “You’re my neighbor.”

What were the odds of that? If he didn’t know any better, he would think all of this had been planned. Could this guy see the future, too?

Kazuki nodded, handing him the key, as Keita walked by as he held the door. “I guess the head wanted to make sure someone responsible was looking after you.”

Keita looked around his room. It was very nice. There was a desk, fridge, bed, closet, sink, and a huge mirror. His eyes widened when he saw the sliding door that led out to a balcony. He practically bounced across the room, threw it open, stepped out into the warm sunlight, and stared in awe. The view was breathtaking. You could not see the water from below, because of all the trees, but, now he could see the bay and the city on the other side of it.

Kazuki had not moved from his spot at the door. Had Keita just leaped across the room without touching the floor to go out on the balcony? Did they have another flyer as well? Oh, the King was going to be jealous.

He shook his head, and made his way across the nice room to go out on the balcony with him. “The view is very beautiful, isn’t it?”

Keita nodded. He loved the way the sun reflected off the surface of the water. It made it sparkle with brilliance. He could not wait to see what it looked like at night. He bet the stars shining down on the glossy surface made the bay look like it was littered with billions of diamonds.

Kazuki turned his head to look at him. He loved the way his lips looked. They looked so soft and were as red as rose petals. He wanted to touch them and quickly averted his eyes when Keita turned to look at him, too.

“I don’t even know you,” Keita said, moving his hand off the railing to put it on top of his. “And yet I feel like I should be thanking you for all this.”

Kazuki looked down at that milky white hand, noticing how soft and smooth it was on top of his bigger one. The nails were as pink as cherry blossoms in bloom and as shiny as glass. Had someone given him a manicure while he had been out like a light or was this just the way his nails naturally looked?

“I killed my parents, Kazuki,” he said, turning his back to him, trying to stop the tears from falling down his face with his shirt, dropping the pills out of the pocket. “How do I get these images out of my mind?”

Kazuki reached down, picked up the pills, and put them into his pant pocket. He walked over to stand behind the smaller teen, wrapping his arms around him in a loving manner.

“My mom had been shredded by glass,” he said, feeling his chest grow tight with emotional pain. “I killed my dad with lightning.”

“They are alive,” Kazuki said, squeezing him gently, knowing he could take all the pain away. “What you did is in the past now. They don’t remember any of it.”

“But I do,” he said, trembling in the warm embrace. “I can still smell the ozone and the burnt flesh.”

Kazuki kept his mouth shut. He could easily wipe those memories away. He could make it like it never happened.

“I can see him raising that knife to stab me,” he whispered, terrified to close his eyes. “I can still hear my scream as the lightning stabbed him.”

Kazuki closed his eyes and started to hum to him.

Keita just let the tears fall. This guy gave the best hugs. He had never felt this warm in all his life.

Why did this humming sound so familiar? Hadn’t someone hummed to him like this before? In fact, hadn’t someone held him like this before, too? What was this song?

“I can’t go back,” he said, leaning back against that broad chest. “I can’t ever look at them again.”

Kazuki opened his wet eyes, but, continued to hum to him. The pain just radiated out of Keita, stabbing him like a thousand needles. He could easily block it, but, he wanted to know Keita’s pain. He wished the boy would just ask him to take all the pain for him. He was too afraid to offer. He wanted to be asked.

To hell with it!

“What do you want me to do, Keita?” He asked, gently squeezing him again.

It felt so weird being held by a guy like this. But, Keita really liked it. It felt so right. It felt so…wonderful.

“I just want you to hold me,” he said, looking out over the sunlit bay, seeing a boat zooming by over the waves in the distance. “And hum to me.”

Kazuki grinned. “I can do that, too.”

Keita lifted his hands up, and used them to open Kazuki’s arms. He let one of the bigger teens hands go and led him by the other one back inside.

“Keita?” Kazuki asked in question, as the smaller teen sat down on the bed. “What are we doing?”

Keita looked up at him. “I want you to hold and hum to me.”

He kicked his shoes off and scooted over to make room for him.

Kazuki watched him roll over so that his back was to him. He slowly kicked his shoes off, too, and sat down on the bed. He lied down next to Keita and wrapped his arms around him, pulling him closer.

Keita closed his eyes. It felt so nice. He felt so safe in these arms. They were so strong and gentle.

Kazuki began to hum to him. His eyes were wet with unshed tears. The two of them were the perfect fit. They were like two puzzle pieces that were left out and yet they fit perfectly together.

“Play with my hair, Kazuki,” Keita whispered, slowly drifting off to sleep without the help from the pills in Kazuki’s pocket.

Kazuki happily did so. He loved the fill of Keita’s silky soft hair. It was so smooth and shiny. He planted a kiss on the back of Keita’s neck and continued to hum.

Souls in the wind
Must learn how to bend
Seek out a star
Hold on to the end
Valley, mountain
There is a fountain
Washes our tears all away
Words are swaying
Someone is praying
Please let us come home to stay
